We love Italian food, and it seems like we just can’t get enough pasta. Utah has plenty of great Italian restaurants, and there’s one in Salt Lake City that makes a tableside spaghetti carbonara that’s absolutely incredible. For a delicious pasta dish made while you watch, visit Antica Sicilia.
Antica Sicilia is located in Millcreek at 2020 E. 3300 S.. It's part of the Sicilia Mia restaurant group, which is well-known for its authentic Italian cuisine and excellent service.
The dining room of this little gem is warm and cozy, and filled with the aromas of garlic and basil. For the best service on a weekend, make a reservation in advance - this place fills up fast!
When you order the carbonara, they'll bring a huge wheel of Grana Padano cheese on a cart right up to your table. Grana Padano is similar to Parmigiano Reggiano, and comes from northern Italy.
The pasta is rolled around and around in the flaming wheel of cheese while the Grana Padano cheese melts right into it. In case that's not enough cheese, they throw a bit of Parmigiano Reggiano into the mix, too.
The spaghetti carbonara consists of slow-roasted pancetta, an egg cream sauce, and plenty of fresh melted Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. It's a simple dish with just a few ingredients, but the rich flavors and grand preparation display will win you over.

After a meal this good, it will be hard to leave room for dessert, but you'll definitely want to at least order something to share - the desserts are made in-house and they're the perfect end to a perfect meal.
The Mirenda family is waiting to serve you! Antica Sicilia is open for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday til 9:30 p.m.
